A conscientious neighbor's quick thinking helped police nab two New York City men who allegedly broke into a Morningside Drive home near Exit 4 of Interstate 95 on March 27.

The neighbor saw two men breaking into a home across the street around 1:30 p.m. and called police. She stayed on the telephone with police until officers arrived. The officers went to the rear of the residence and discovered broken glass on a door leading to the garage. Two men seen wearing suits inside the residence gave themselves up and walked out with their hands up a short time later, police said.

Diego Fernando Suarez Gonzalez, 38, of the Bronx, N.Y., initially produced a Maryland license with a different name and date of birth, but eventually admitted it was fake, police said; the second man, Jimmy Fernandez, 36, of 75 Schenck Ave., Brooklyn, N.Y., originally produced a Pennsylvania driver's licence with a different name. During fingerprinting, however, his real name was discovered, police said.
